DC’s Dave Thomas Circle by airbus777 licensed under Creative Commons. Those itching to see the progress made on the redesign project at the intersection of Florida and New York avenues NE, known by many as “Dave Thomas Circle” may soon get their chance. The District Department of Transportation (DDOT) is holding a public meeting Monday, May 17, to discuss the preliminary design proposal for the project. The intersection is infamous to Washingtonians for its confusing traffic pattern and unfriendly bike/pedestrian landscape. A 2020 life plan study by DC’s Office of Planning found that Dave Thomas Circle was “despised” adding: “People surveyed during field work and online described the FL/NY intersection as a terrible place. People walking, biking, and driving experience the FL/NY intersection as frustrating and dangerous, and many try to avoid travelling through it.”
